How we calculate
Processors come from the game’s official requirements, matched to the FPSHQ catalog by exact model name; Gaming Score is the catalog’s gaming score.
CPU FPS ceiling — the unified FPSHQ model formula: Gaming Score ÷ 30 × √(45 ÷ game demand). It is the maximum frame rate the CPU can prepare with any graphics card.
For 60/120/144/240 FPS targets we show the lowest-scoring popular processor (by search demand) whose ceiling is not below the target.
